Reports code that applies <code>==</code> or <code>!=</code> to a newly allocated object
instead of calling <code>equals()</code>.
<p>
  The references to newly allocated objects cannot point at existing objects,
  thus the comparison will always evaluate to <code>false</code>. The inspection may also report newly
  created objects returned from simple methods.
</p>
<p><b>Example:</b></p>
<pre><code>
  void test(Object obj) {
    if (new Object() == obj) {...}
  }
</code></pre>
<p>After the quick-fix is applied:</p>
<pre><code>
  void test(Object obj) {
    if (new Object().equals(obj)) {...}
  }
</code></pre>
